I first saw him when I watched a documentary on the poverty in Liberia. I think it's great that he's a changed man and is working to help youth who have suffered from being child soldiers.

Why on earth is this in religious topics?

"At the Last Judgment I will not be asked whether I satisfactorily practiced asceticism, nor how many bows I have made before the divine altar. I will be asked whether I fed the hungry, clothed the naked, visited the sick, and the prisoner in his jail. That is all I will be asked." - Sv. Maria Skobotsova

there's been lots of controversy, many think that he only said what he said he saw because he was about to be put on trial.

From what I saw, he would've been given the death sentence or something, but was spared since he converted to Christianity. Evidently the Mother of God appeared to him and told him to renounce his ways.

In 1996, Blahyi had a dramatic encounter with Christ during one of the most brutal fights in the history of the Liberian war, an encounter many deemed similar to Apostle Paul’s conversion on the road to Damascus.
